Abstract

The teter plant is an herbal plant cultivated in Taro Village, rich in bioactive components with various health benefits, especially in its leaves. Taro villagers process teter leaves into a product called ‘loloh’ don teter. However, this product has the disadvantage of a short shelf life and is less desirable to the general public. As a solution, teter leaves can be processed into herbal tea. One important aspect in making herbal tea is the drying time. This study aimed to determine the effect of drying time on the Teter Leaf Herbal Tea characteristics and to obtained the appropriate drying time in making Teter Leaf Herbal Tea and its potential as a functional beverage. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with the treatment of drying time at 4 levels (12; 18; 24; and 30 hours at 50oC). The results showed that the drying time had a significant effect on the characteristics of Teter Leaf Herbal Tea. A drying time of 24 hours was the right time to produced herbal tea with a yield of 20.74%, moisture content of 7.21%, total phenols 40.71 mg GAE/g, total flavonoids 28.76 mg QE/g, total tannins 0.80 mg TAE/g, vitamin C 8.13 mg AAE/g, and antioxidant activity of 85.55%. Teter leaf has the potential to be developed into functional beverage.

Abstract

Sago, one of Indonesia’s staple foods, holds significant potential for food diversification due to its high carbohydrate content. However, despite its nutritional benefits, sago consumption remains less popular than corn and potatoes. Sago porridge, a traditional food product, can be developed into a healthy alternative, but its translucent brown color is visually unappealing, affecting consumer acceptance. This study aims to evaluate the optimal concentration of red dragon fruit extract as a natural colorant to enhance the visual appeal of sago porridge. The research method involved testing varying concentrations of red dragon fruit extract (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) through sensory evaluation and physical analysis. Results showed that a 6% concentration yielded the highest acceptability, with the following physical properties: strawberry red color (L*:48.4; a*:70.8; b*:21.5), viscosity of 56,000 mPažs, texture force of 8.7980 N, and pH of 7.21. This study contributes through the innovative use of red dragon fruit extract as a natural colorant, improving both the visual appeal and nutritional value of sago porridge. The optimal 6% concentration provides a practical reference for local food industries to produce value-added products, supporting food diversification based on local resources and aligning with global trends in healthy, natural foods.
